WhereIzPaPa:
How is it that the Babylonians where able to destroy the temple of Solomon. How is it that the Romans where able to destroy the temple again. If the temple housed the ark of the covenant, what credence do you give to the theory that the ark was taken to Ethiopia by Menelik son of queen of Sheba and Solomon. The Ethiopians celebrate old temple Judaism not celebrating Hanukkah and other developments to the faith after the first temple. How do you feel about Ethiopian jews if they are in fact offspring to a non jewish woman and the king of israel? what is your view of converted jews? are they on the same plain with pure blooded jews?

eb22:
Shalom Chaim,


I'm interested in your opinion of what Denmark's role was during the Holocaust?     Was Denmark (  in addition to Serbia ) truly an exception to the norm in their efforts to attempt to save Jews during WWII?   


Thanks as always,    eb22.   

Ulli:
Shalom Mr. ben Pesach,

first I want to report back.

second my question this week is:

Why are Barak & Obama are telling us, that the Iranian Missle-threat is now lower than before, althrough I didn't heard or read that Iran has demilitarized a part of their long range rocket artillery. In fact they are building more missles and starting systems.

Sincerly Ulli

ape:
Why are there no great ancient large structures in Israel? Did the Jews build any, or did they just build the Temple. The Egyptians built incredible pyramids and the Greeks built beautiful temples. Did the Jews only build the one temple and no other large structures. I would think if they were advanced, they would have built many beautiful structures and there would be ruins of them today. What did they look like?

Yaacov Ben Yehuda:
Shana Tova ve Metuka lecha Chaim!
may this year be the year you finally are allowed into Israel! I personally pray for you when I put on my Teffillin every morning, and wish you health and happiness in this new year!

now to my questions:

1. What is the official Tanach clause on the concept of getting vengence (nekama)? Christians turn the other cheek, but what is our obligations as Jews in regards to how to deal with someone that has wronged us? The mossad went after and killed the munich olympic terrorsts in its vendetta campaign, and in the Tanach there are numerous stories about the Jews going after and killing those that wronged them, including other Jews. 

2. what are your understandings and feelings about Karaite Jews? In your opinon, do they got it all wrong? or are they a legitimate branch of Judasim? I have read about them, and feel they have some valid reasons to why they reject the talmud.

Thanks as always,
G-d Bless!
